Gmod points to wrong drive

[Doc Berry]

I've recently re-imaged my machine due to a failing OS drive.. during the process I had to reset all the drive letters due to a bad boot. Now my Gmod is on drive D and not E . E is now my Bluray Burner... I can't find the file that points the game in the right direction.. Also keep this in mind this is an "OLD" install of gmod so anything that is normally "steamapp/commons" is not going to happen. Should I just dump and reinstall anyway?

There is an option in your game library properties to move the file to a different drive.
It should look like this

Reinstalling Garry’s mod would probably be the most least stressful thing to do in this case, but do what you desire.

I already dumped GMOD (over 100 gigs of old data), still shows up as installed.. Doing a Library repair now to see if I can get it to trip.. if not, I'll try to trick it that way.

UPDATE: It won't let me says (Update Required) What update? Anyway.. Now when I start steam it asks for a disk.. Fuck it at this rate I'm just going to have to start a fresh STEAM install. Running app backup now.

Ok sadly, due to the repair it kind of fucked up everything... I had to axe steam *COMPLETELY* off the computer.. No backups no nothing. (aw well) This gives me a butt ton of space to use so I'm kind of happy..

Nice to have a clean up every now and then
